Yes, Shalom and good evening from the Jesrael Valley here in Galilee in Israel.

I'm Amir Tsarfati live from Connect. And together with me today, as always, for Mid-Ease and Beyond, is Pastor Barry Stagner from Southern California.

Pastor Barry, Shalom, and good morning to you, I guess.

Shalom, Amir, good to see you today.

Yes, so Pastor Barry, just so you know,

over the past few hours, Israelis,

and not just Israelis, all over the Middle East,

we're all feeling the seriousness of the United States

preparation for something significant in Iran. And just, you know, based on the scale of the composition of the force buildup in the Middle

East, it appears to be a preparation for something that is prolonged regional conflict

or confrontation, and it won't be a big, one main blow, but something that will be

lasting for weeks. And this is quite an interesting thing. For over a month now, we are talking about

C-17 Globmasters. We're talking about C5M Super Galaxy strategic transport aircraft

that have been operating continuously between the United States and bases in Europe

and across Arab states in the Middle East, where U.S. has some bases there.

They basically were moving personnel, equipment,

logistical infrastructure, and of course we're talking about advanced defense systems

that they brought with them. Not only that, but in recent weeks also dozens of KC-135R, the strata tankers, aerial refueling aircraft.

They have been also identified arriving from Europe.

And it's one thing that you see them one by one, but think about that.

Since the beginning of this week, there have been further increase in tanker activity.

And over the past, I woke up this morning to find out that two dozens of them just left the United States at once on their way to the Middle East.
